As a consequence they have removed all quality of life parameters from trip construction on those AC and are using min credit only. They said it should improve as new hires come online later in the spring.
For the record, deliveries aren't sliding. We are on schedule and will take delivery of 4 a/c per month. We will have all 88 aircraft by mid 2015 v end of 2015. Rehabs at VQQ and IND are going well. Many of the early issues are resolved and they're pumping them out in about 45 days.
